    arm64: mte: ptrace: Add PTRACE_{PEEK,POKE}MTETAGS support · 18ddbaa0
    Catalin Marinas authored
    Add support for bulk setting/getting of the MTE tags in a tracee's
    address space at 'addr' in the ptrace() syscall prototype. 'data' points
    to a struct iovec in the tracer's address space with iov_base
    representing the address of a tracer's buffer of length iov_len. The
    tags to be copied to/from the tracer's buffer are stored as one tag per
    byte.
    
    On successfully copying at least one tag, ptrace() returns 0 and updates
    the tracer's iov_len with the number of tags copied. In case of error,
    either -EIO or -EFAULT is returned, trying to follow the ptrace() man
    page.
    
    Note that the tag copying functions are not performance critical,
    therefore they lack optimisations found in typical memory copy routines.
